The Trumpist defeat in the United States

Blue is the color of the Democratic Party in the United States, and blue is the color that has stained the country's map after the Democrats' landslide victory in the midterm elections:

Here you can see all the results of this "blue tsunami," the bluenami, which represents a historic shift. Both the House of Representatives and the Senate have changed hands, so Trump's power will now be more constrained. The United States is beginning to bury Trumpism, as our Washington correspondent, Andrés Gil, reports in this chronicle. The Republicans' defeat will have global geopolitical consequences: it affects the balance of power in the Middle East and the Iran-Contra affair, the US stance on Ukraine, the White House's influence in Latin America, and the right-wing and far-right projects in Europe.

The Democrats' sweep is full of firsts: Gina Hinojosa will be the first Latina governor of Texas, Xavier Becerra will be the first Latino governor of California, and Chris Pappas will be the first openly gay man to enter the U.S. Senate. In that chamber, a third of the seats were up for election, and the Democrats have reclaimed key states. In Texas, James Talarico has won a seat for the Democratic Party for the first time since 1994. In North Carolina, Roy Cooper wrested the seat from the right for the first time in 18 years.

On his social media, Trump reacted by leaving the Republicans high and dry: "I wasn't on the ballot. If I had been, we would have swept the election." The new Congress won't be formed until January, so it's likely that Trump will accelerate his far-right agenda in the coming months. Today, in the midst of a sore loser's tantrum, he has threatened to veto initiatives arising from these new chambers, which in the two years remaining in his presidency will be able to oversee every move, every budget item, and every decision of the White House.
